Good Reasons to Have a Tree Pruned

Our philosophy is that every cut made on a tree is a wound that can alter the tree's health, stability, or lifespan. Some cuts can remove diseased and damaged limbs and improve the tree's health. Any change to a tree has to be made with consideration of the effect it will have on that tree and the ones nearby.

There are several good reasons to have trees on your property trimmed or pruned.

• Improving aesthetics — Some trees require trimming to improve the view. We focus on trimming the trees in ways that make them stronger rather than just leaving them looking good but needing attention again in a year or two to correct problems resulting from unprofessional trimming.

• Allowing clearance — Sometimes trees need to be pruned to provide safe clearance around them for mowing, walkways, driving or parking areas, or building access.

• Tree health — Trees can grow in ways that aren't always good for the tree. Long, heavy limbs are susceptible to breakage, and pruning is an effective way to protect a tree from its own weight. It's also important to reduce competition in trees that have multiple growing leaders (trunks) that act as stressors.

• Changes in the treescape — If you've had a tree removed or it has come down naturally, pruning may be necessary for the surrounding trees. The tree that came down may have been providing the ones around it with protection from wind, heavy snow, etc., and its absence may lead to limb loss or catastrophic failure for the nearby trees.
